Daily help desk brief emailed to your support lead

Every weekday at 8:00am in the support team's local timezone, generate and email a daily help desk brief for my support lead. The goal is to give leadership a fast read on yesterday's ticket activity and the current state of the queue before the day starts.

Use HappyFox List Tickets to gather three sets of tickets. First, all tickets newly created during yesterday. Second, all tickets that were resolved or closed yesterday. Third, the current open backlog, meaning every unresolved ticket still sitting in the queue. HappyFox timestamps are in UTC, so translate the 'yesterday' window into the team's local timezone before filtering on the created and updated timestamps. List Tickets is paginated with a maximum page size of 50, so page all the way through the result set on high-volume days rather than stopping at the first page.

Then write an executive summary a manager can skim in under a minute. Cover: ticket inflow versus tickets resolved yesterday, and the net change to the queue; the oldest unresolved tickets and how the backlog is aging; anything that has breached its SLA or is at risk of breaching soon; a rough workload split per agent (how many tickets each person is carrying or resolved); and the recurring themes, categories, or hot spots you noticed across the tickets. As a rule of thumb, a healthy backlog sits around 5 to 10 percent of daily ticket volume, so call it out when the backlog drifts above that range.

Send the finished brief to the support lead using Gmail Send a Message. Format it as a short, readable email with a single headline metric line at the very top, for example 'Yesterday: 42 in, 38 resolved, 61 open, 3 SLA at risk', followed by short scannable sections for the rest of the summary. Keep the language plain and human. Avoid API names, raw field names, and data dumps; when you need to point at specific tickets, reference them by their display label and a short description.
